| I know there are 100 of these here, but none of the answers work.
| Here is exactly what happens:
|
| If I use Explorer or IE to connect to an FTP server, I can download
| files by dragging and dropping just fine, but when I try to drag a
| file onto the ftp window to upload, the "Copying" window comes up and
| does nothing. It will stay there forever. It never times out or anything.
| The ONLY way to get rid of it is to go to the Task manager and kill it.
| That in itself is horrible--if the person who programmed that was my
| student (I teach CS), I would fail them. Why on earth does it not go
| away. If you hit cancel, it stays. If you hit the "x" it stays. If you
| reboot it tells you it can't because windows is in the middle of a long
| operation.
|
| Some posts say check the "passive mode" box, others say uncheck it.
| Neither work. I just unchecked it, and copied one file. Thought it was
| fixed. Then I dragged a directory onto the window. It copied all of
| the sub directories, but as soon as it got to a file, it hangs--just stuck
| saying "Copying", apparently with no timeout. So I kill it once again.
|
| Doesn't it seem strange that IE has such a nice feature--using the explorer
| to do FTP--but doesn't allow it to be used if the firewall is on?
|
| Anyway, I am getting very upset about this, having spent about 5 hours
| trying to fix it.
|
| As other have mentioned, NO ftp program (Except for the command line
| FTP executed from "Run" on the Start menu) works. I thought this was
| working before, and the only thing that changed was our router. I turned
| the firewall on that off, and if I turn Windows firewall off, it seems to
| work,
| so I don't think it is the router anyway.
|
| So, what am I doing wrong? This should be an easy one:
|
| How do I get FTP to work in Explorer?
|
| Please, please please somebody tell me.
|
| Chuck.
Did you enable Passive Transfers ? (aka; pasv)
